Sir George Grey's Views.

In the course of an interview with an Auckland Herald representative, Sir Georga Grey condemned the National Liberal Federation, saying that he thought the Government had done wrong in trying to enrol the labouring classes in a partly secret society of private members who wished their names to be kept secret. His impression was that the Liberal Party had agreed that having got the principle of the one-man-one-vote established, which gave to the masses all the power they could possibly desire, they would have nothing to do with subscribing funds for contesting elections, and thus composing capital to go into a contest in which it would have a great chance

of succeeding if money was the thing that was to settle the question. He considered that the masses had power by the single vote to retain all the measures that had been passed. His intention was to support the Government in everything he thouhgfc to be ri.jjjht, but certainly not in what he believed to be wrong. — Press Association.
